The Benduro Sprint Enduro Fundraiser
TOGETHER WE RAISED OVER $6,000 TO HELP RICK EMERSON RACE ISDE! THANKS ARE JUST NOT ENOUGH, BUT.. THANK YOU EVERYONE WHO PARTICIPATED AND CAME OUT TO SUPPORT RICK AT THE BENDURO!
Rick Emerson of Berthoud, CO qualified for the US ISDE team. Rick races the RMEC, TSEC and CORCS series races, and is on the Full Factory Off Road team. As a local rider, we are honored to have Rick as part of our racing region, and want to do all we can to support this great accomplishment (read more about ISDE below). The expense associated with attending this event is considerable.

AMA Article on the ISDE
The International Six Days Enduro (ISDE), formerly known as the International Six Days Trial (ISDT), is the oldest 'off road' motorcycle event on the FIM Calendar. This historic event is often referred to as the "Enduro Olympic Games," and attracts over 700 champions from around the world every year. This year, the teams are vying for the supreme title in one of the most beautiful areas of France.
The ISDE was first held in 1913 at Carlisle, England. It has occurred annually, apart from interruptions due to World War I and World War II, at various locations throughout the world. The early events were a true test of machine, rider skill, and reliability. Held on the 'roads' of that era, today most of the routes are truly 'off road'. Originally titled the International Six Day Trial, in 1981 the FIM decided to update the name to International Six Days Enduro, the name Enduro having been devised by the Americans and popularized by many motorcycle manufacturers also greater reflected the change in the event from a trial to more akin to a rally featuring skills more associated with cross country motocross.
The sport has been associated with many great motorcyclists before its 100th anniversary in 2013; this also includes women such as 1920s-30s star Marjorie Cottle. Up until 1973 the contest was always held in Europe. In 1973 it traveled for its first overseas jaunt, the United States. Since then it has been outside Europe more frequently: twice in Australia (1992 and 1998), once more in the United States (1994), Brazil (2003), New Zealand in 2006, Chile in 2007 and Mexico in 2010.
The event has attracted national teams from as many as 32 different countries in recent years. Over its long history the rules and conditions have changed to keep in step with the developments in the sport, but it remains a supreme test of rider and machine. Over the six days and upwards of 1250 miles a rider must contend with strict rules about time allowances and restrictions on mechanical replacements, carrying out his or her own motorcycle repairs.
Usually referred to as the 'Olympics of Motorcycling' with trophies for best six-rider national, four-rider junior national, three-rider women's national, three-rider club national and three-rider manufacturing teams. Gold, silver and bronze medals are awarded on an individual level. The medals are typically awarded based on percentage of finishers, or relative to the best individual performance in the event within their specific class. Individual gold medals go to participants who finish within 10% of their class' top competitor's total elapsed time, silver medals are awarded for those who finish within 25%, and bronze medals are awarded to any rider who finishes all six days within their time allowance.
